Long periods of peace and quiet favor certain optical illusions. Among them is the assumption that the invulnerability of the home is founded upon the Constitution and safe-guarded by it. In reality, it rests upon the father of the family who, accompanied by his sons, appears with an ax on the threshold of his dwelling. -- Ernst Junger

Put Serenity in orbit

Remember how Star Trek fans were ripped off when they lobbied to have the first Space Shuttle named "Enterprise"--and then it never flew to space?
